Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Installing steam_latest.deb from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb Invoking steam from a terminal does not start the installer and returns the error:

bash: /usr/games/steam: No such file or directory

Invoking /usr/bin/steam (full path to the script) starts the installer/client as expected.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Debian fresh install applying https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers with multiarch support.
  2. dpkg -i steam_latest.deb from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
  3. Invoke steam in a terminal

Hello @el-chay, the Valve-provided Steam package doesn't interact with /usr/games. This reads like a leftover from a distro-modified package which has had the Valve-provided package forced over it and they don't have the same filesystem layout.

Can you run which steam, and then figure out which package the result belongs to? Something like dpkg -S /path/from/which might tell you that.

$ dpkg -S $(which steam)
steam-launcher: /usr/bin/steam
$ dpkg-query -W steam-launcher
steam-launcher  1:1.0.0.82
$ apt-cache rdepends steam-launcher
steam-launcher
Reverse Depends:
  steam-devices
  steam-installer
  steam-installer
  steam-devices
